Members of the district mentorship team for Nchelenge District will receive this type of TOT training. 3. Following the TOT session, the district mentorship team will conduct facility-level training for health workers on using the SCC. Within target facilities, all public sector health workers will be invited to participate in the training. 4. Mentorship and support to facility-level health workers on using the SCC: The district mentorship team will carry out coaching and support visits to health facilities following the initial SCC training.
